Today our QB went 5/32 for 61.5 yds with 2 INTs.

Now, I'll acknowledge that they had pretty good pass coverage in general. Actually, I'm completely fine with both plays that resulted in INTs - they earned them with great coverage. But the following list of plays disturbs me: these are all plain (incomplete)s, thrown off-target, and way ahead of the WR. Why on earth does the QB seem to be making every throw early? There isn't much pressure on the QB to speak of (check for yourself, there might be a hurry here or there, but typically not an issue), so why can't the QB put the ball at least close to on the mark, or why doesn't the QB simply wait a little bit longer to throw the ball?

I don't know QBs that well - it's one of the few positions I never bothered to learn how to build. But the QB I'm talking about has strength/vision/throwing at 75/75/75, 50 confidence, enough stamina, and 4-4-1-1-1 in passer tree. I'd say the strength is way above average from what I've only seen on other QBs, with the vision being pretty decent / a bit above average (at least for a level 33), while the throwing and tight spiral seem to be the two areas that are lacking at the moment.

So based on the build and these replays, anyone have any ideas on how equipment could be reworked or tactics could be changed? Each of strength/vision/throwing are either at the third cap or on the way to the third cap, so pretend you have 68/68/68 - what should the equipment setup be?
He doesn't have any favorites set, I believe he's on bullet passing, with medium throw-away tactics.

More SAs, imo, but my team's QB has a lot of points in Tight Spiral and is still having a lot of inconsistency in his percentages.

Maybe his accuracy will improve if he moves off Bullet.

Bullet passing style is supposed to be a no-no thought. Too many PD's by linemen and it creates incompletes/drops. Need to have some arc to the passes y'know?

Is that his attributes w/ equipment? Because 75 throwing w/ equip is pretty low imo. Strength for throwing is overrated in my opinion. It's all about pass quality. Pass quality makes it easier to catch, and easier to catch w/ a PD. Also increases accuracy if I'm not mistaken. Like pass deflections degrade the pass quality, so if you have a really high pass quality then a lot of deflected passes can still be caught. Also, it makes them harder to intercept.

Bort said: The WR vs CB battle on pass deflections catch are: CB > WR > CB.

For example: CB gets deflect roll, deflects pass and lowers pass quality, then the WR fails to make the catch, and CB gets second roll and can possibly intercept it, or it is intercepted by another defender. (I personally think that most interceptions now are more a factor of a PD being made and another defender catching the lower quality pass resulted from the deflection.

If this was confusing: Basically I said that Higher Passing Quality (Throwing/Tight Spiral) would be the best. And possibly not passing on bullet for better accuracy/easier catching.

That's how I see it at least in my logical deductions.
